Thank you, Matt, for your nice review! It was a pleasure meeting you, and glad you enjoyed your stay here at our family's cottages. Thank you for your kind words about the hospitality. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
Our cabin was absolutely lovely! Super clean and very charming. Our host was kind and accommodating offering amenities not listed such as minor kitchen utensils that came in unbelievably handy. Our host shared interesting local and family history tied to the area making the experience so special. The view was breathtaking taking and the water magical! There was a provided play area as well as a whole shed for games Id definitely say family friendly! I hope to be visiting again.

Thank you, Jaynette and Josh for the nice review!! We appreciate it! Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and hope to see you again in the future. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
I only put a four for one category because the property was older. Wonderful stay but wanted those who saw a review not to be expecting fancy, but a great rustic experience.

Thank you, Mary Beth, for your kind review and for spending time with us. It was such a pleasure meeting you, your husband, and your granddaughters. I really enjoyed our conversations, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to share a little Door County hospitality—including some famous Door County chocolate cherry fudge! I hope your family made wonderful memories during your visit, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back in the future. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
Another perfect visit! The cabin was extremely clean and so comfortable. Andre’ is a fantastic host and communication is outstanding-thank you! The evening sunset is enchanting and provides closure to a spectacular day. One can get to Door County attractions within 20 minutes (taking the scenic route).Enjoy the people and events during the day and then come evening return to the peace and serenity of the lake and your cabin. Absolutely, the best place to reset and reflect on just how beautiful Door County is.

Andre was a great host. A great place to relax and enjoy Wisconsin sunsets. Not fancy, yet functional. Rooms are very clean. The cabins do not have AC. We will be back.

Thank you, Michael, for your nice review! It was great talking with you during your stay. Thank you for your kind words about the hospitality. Best Regards - Andre' & Ann
The view of the lake was beautiful. There are Adirondack chairs for you to hang out in and relax. You can also walk down the stairs to get closer to the water. We did a little swimming. The cottage is very cute. No A/C but the host has fans in all the rooms so it was still comfortable. We were within driving distance of all the main attractions. The host, Andre is very kind and very helpful

Hi Sam - Thank you for the great review. We appreciate.it. A few years ago, I had uploaded some high resolution photos and they now look like there's a filter over the photo. Not sure if VRBO's softwarre caused this or what happened but thanks for letting us know. Best Regards - Andre'
Great relaxing weekend. Host is friendly & helpful. Enjoyed the local farmer’s market and meals in town. Great time!

It was very clean and right on the water. It had everything we were looking for- a great location close to attractions, yet secluded. The host was great.
Traditional cabins on a lovely Lake Michigan location! The host is very welcoming and made our stay even nicer.

Hi Connie - Thank for your wonderful review and for choosing our cottages for your Door County vacation! Enjoyed the conversations! Best Regards - Andre'
The cottage was exactly what we needed. A comfortable place to sleep between fishing trips and even a dock to try our luck from in the evening. All of the reviews that talk about how clean the cottage is kept are completely accurate. Andre is a very accommodating host.
